The annual Thanksgiving Day high school football rivalry between Case and Somerset Berkley is over.

According to The Herald News, last year’s game for the 49ers Trophy was the last in the series that dates back to the 1930’s. Somerset Berkley, a Division 3 school, beat Case, a Division 7 school, 50-14 last Thanksgiving. Somerset Berkley won 15 of the last 16 meetings.

Next year, Case will play Atlantis Charter on Thanksgiving. There’s no word on whether Somerset Berkley has found a new opponent.
